    Did you uninstall and reinstall MSN?
    maybe the installation didn’t go well!

    Hello, so yesterday I uninstalled MSN and I couldn't reinstall it, so I tried everything. I even wanted to install an older version of Windows Messenger I think, but since it was in the Windows components and it still didn’t work, I wanted to remove it and I did some mistakes in those Windows components, so I did a system restore and Windows Live came back with the problem of the page that appears before it’s asked.

        Hello and happy new year
        I already told you that my problem isn’t recent, well it’s not a big deal if we can’t remove this display but it’s still strange

    Hello, go to the page you want to open at startup and click on Tools > Internet Options, type the address in the Home page box > OK

      I don’t see a line corresponding to MSN. I’m using Windows Live Messenger, there is a line for parental control. Can you tell me what the line to disable is called
      thank you

    Hello
    you can change it in the registry

    type REGEDIT in Run

    and then go there

    HKEY_local_machine > Software > Microsoft > Internet Explorer > Main. Click on Main in the left pane and, in the right pane, right-click on Start Page. Choose Modify: delete the default startup page URL and enter the one you want to appear.

      Before doing that, I want to tell you that I don’t want anything else in place, when I close this page I still have my desktop
      (this Windows Live Messenger page is the one where you enter your Hotmail address and password to connect with the two little figures spinning and stopping as soon as there is a connection)
      so should I therefore do what you tell me, because I still want to be able to go on Windows Live Messenger when I want to

    Actually I think there’s a misunderstanding of my question. When I turn on my XP computer, my screen shows the various users of the house, I enter my password to go to my session, and that’s when the blue Windows Live Messenger home screen appears inviting me to click to sign in. That’s what annoys me; I don’t want it to display. Thank you anyway for your responses.

    Normally I would have my desktop and my icons, that's all. Why do I have the Windows Live Messenger page with my MSN email and password and "sign in" (which I have to click if I want to go there)?

    If your icons have disappeared, and your desktop doesn’t look normal, I’m not a pro, but it’s possible that you have a virus.
    To be sure, I suggest posting a new message in the virus/security forum.
    If you do, it would be nice to keep us updated.

    See you later

      but, but the icons haven't disappeared!!! instead of signing me into msn I close this window and I find my normal desktop, what I would like is that this msn window doesn't open by itself at the beginning like that

      I have no problem going to MSN, what I would like is for the login window not to open by itself at startup.
      decidedly I have trouble getting my message across...

        Perform a system restore to a date when it did not appear.

        I'm scared I installed so many things recently and on top of that I just switched from Orange to SFR, do you think I can do a system restore?

        in the restoration you can see the programs that will be removed between the two dates!

    The problem is that I’ve had this issue for a long time but I wanted to solve other ones before this one, and since the system restore doesn’t offer any date before December, I think this problem is from before.

    This option is unchecked and it still does the same, but just below, in a highlighted sub-section, the option "open the main Messenger window at startup" is checked and therefore cannot be unchecked.
